Squiggle Wiggle Writer, Multicolor

Grandkids love. Fun idea.

Kids love it! They do not realize they are learning fine motor control when they use this toy to intentionally write, draw, or color within the lines. It also has a strong vibration sensory component. Because of this, some kids can only use it for short periods of time.

Nostalgia purchase and they are as fun as I remember. I imagine they would be very beneficial for kiddos who need to strengthen small motor skills as well.

The original I bought for late 30s children still works. Now, I have two for two grandchildren! I’m more excited then they will be when I’m with them next; YAY!

I bought these as a gift for an active little boy. Pens broke after a few months use. Older children and adults may be more gentle, so pens may last longer. Pens were ok but they did not wobble very much so lines were not very wiggly. Not sure if I would recommend.

My granddaughter is very tactile so having a vibrating pen that writes little curly-cues is just up her alley. She loves the feel of it and uses it a lot.

I have pediatric clients who get easily frustrated and this is my second wiggle pen. The first one broke after being dropped. This one was brand new out of the package and it would only turn on if held a certain way or I put tape on the button. In the past I never had problems with these pens but apparently the quality is going down hill. I won’t be wasting money any more on this brand.

As a school based OT, I found this a great purchase for my students. They love it.
